Which browser inconsistencies have been fixed and which are still existing about scribe HOT 6 OPEN

Agreed!

Maybe we should just have tests to document all of the browser inconsistencies instead. The ones which pass are the ones we’ve fixed/patched, and the ones that fail remain broken. Thoughts? We are already doing this to an extend – it would be a case of moving more of the information out of BROWSERINCONSISTENCIES.md and into the test files themselves.

Just speaking personally, I found the browser inconsistencies doc super insightful. So I think a page of all known contenteditable bugs should exist somewhere. But right now it's just confusing whether scribe addresses them or not.

Tests would be great, but I also like the jsbins because you can play around with the bug to see if you can come up with a fix.

Hmm, OK. I just don’t want to duplicate explanations of bugs or the hyperlinks to their isolated cases across BROWSERINCONSISTENCIES.md and in the tests.

I wonder if we could leverage JSDoc in any way to make references to the browser inconsistencies from the code. Ideally, we could then generate a HTML file that displays the browser inconsistencies and our support for each one of them, based on the tests. I’m not sure how hard that would be to do…

It feels like having a separate file describe such issues, rather than just tests, is quite valuable to go and nag browser vendors. Maybe reduce duplication by referencing one from the other?

from scribe.

@theefer Yep, just need to figure out how to do the referencing.

.@robinedman suggested that we refer to browser inconsistencies in the patches/tests via links to GitHub issues. In these issues we can link to the isolated case and describe the inconsistency.

This means that if we update the isolated test case, or the description for the inconsistency, we need only update the GitHub issue.

This will also make it clear whether or not the browser inconsistency has been patched in Scribe (opened/closed).
